Yep, don't mess with those Supras. :)
Actually, the '87 is the older style which had less power (I think),
but a stock Supra will put out about 320HP and do 0-60 in 4-5 seconds.
A supra is in the same general class as the Mazda RX-7, Mitsubishi
3000GT, etc. Big, bad ego-bashers all. :)
His car is obviously a lot less powerful than today's Supra, or he
would have beaten you by *way* more than 1 car length. :)
